history

The first century (until 1950)

The Corps Saxonia was founded on May 15, 1850 in Vienna by the Transylvanian Saxons as a regional union. It is the oldest still existing student union on Austro-Hungarian soil. Saxonia Corps has been a member of the Kösener Seniors Convents Association (KSCV) since 1866 and since 1919 . Saxonia provided the first timpani for determination gauges in Austria, these took place in 1862 with the now extinct Vienna Corps Herulia . With the Vienna fraternity Silesia is the oldest Austrian since 1863 Paukverhältnis . After the annexation of Austria in March 1938, Saxonia decided to dissolve itself on April 30, 1938.

Corps Hilaritas Vienna

The Corps Hilaritas Vienna was founded in 1881 as the pennale fraternity Libertas. There is no connection with the Libertas Academic Fraternity in Vienna today. In 1881 the members converted the association into an academic corps and changed the name to Hilaritas ( Latin for "joy, cheerfulness"). Before joining the KSCV in 1934, Hilaritas was a member of the Waidhofener Verband (1910/11) and the German Senior Citizens' Convention (1923/24). The Corps Hilaritas was re-established in 1951, but had to suspend in 1960 due to a lack of members and subsequently dissolved itself in 1961. The members of the Hilaritas were accepted into the Corps Saxonia on June 24, 1961. A friendship between Hilaritas and the Corps Danubia Graz was not continued by Saxonia.

Saxonia after 1950

On January 28, 1950, Saxonia declared the self-dissolution forced by the National Socialists in 1938 to be revoked. A year later, new members ( foxes ) were accepted into the corps for the first time after the Second World War . 2010/11 Saxonia led the suburban retailing of KSCV .
